I love twitter, but I think that the problem they are facing is whether they can maintain their position if they turn too far away from being an ecosystem.

The strength of twitter is it's protocol like structure which could potentially be invaluable just like TCP/IP is (I know they are not by any metrics the same)

But whether they can turn it into a business in the long run that is hard to say. I would worry about conflict of interest just as we are seeing with google now betting against it's own customers.



What do you mean by google betting against it's own customers?


I mean google getting into all sorts of business areas that have used google to build a business. Latest with travel.
